I rarely enjoy reading Arachnid's posts. In fact, there's been many a time when I've come to the board and saw that the most recetn posts were made by Arachnid which prompted me to leave the site in order to be spared the negative, usually off-topic drivel. It doesn't take lot for person to spout off negatively and be crudely scarcastic to others...it's said to be the lowest form of wit, and truthfully it is NOT impressive. We're all inclined to have a rant or two being hard-core Canuck fans and all, but some of the 'schtick' gets tiring.

So hey, like it or 'lump' it, that is just my opinion, and to all of you fellow posters I say "G'day to ya all and ..... (here it comes) take care, eh.

That is just awesome nuckster. I love how your handle ends with ster just like rik's! Clever.

A lot of people don't know this butt Arachnid is an angry old overweight fellow because his father's name was Richard and he beat Arachnid regularly. Since his third divorce Spidey is penniless and bitter and he takes it out on good chaps like you and rikster.

So just remember that this is really a cry for help from Spides, and when he calls you things like bedwetters he is really referring to himself (and you).

So good day to you too!

I haven't been on here in a couple of weeks and it's right back to sockland. I want one Rats! PM me how to

Well legster Rik is the real deal... Where ya been..no WiFi at camp?

There's no way he's real. Maybe Brian has one? Could he?I was doing 12s and then spent my free time puking up the camp slop then spanking with my last remaining moments of consciousness. Now I'm on the backside of my shift so gotta save it up for the misses

Rarely? I wish I could say 'rarely' cause I never like reading his posts period! Every time I come across his posts I mutter the same thing under my breath "this cat has issues that he ain't dealing with". He's out of sync.

I like Riksters postings, always have. It's just so Arachnid to be an uncalled for asshole to a decent poster.

This whole coaching too much defense or not developing young players criticism of coaches remains infinitely amusing. If you look closely at every successful NHL coach, you will find most have had difficulties with some young players (some aren't as ready as some fans may think) and most have coached stifling defensive hockey at some point.

Why?

Because a good coach should be adept at instilling different types of systems and it's all predicated on the type of roster a coach has at his disposal.

As Donny pointed out, Tippett can coach offensive hockey if he has the horses and there's a track record of solid special teams play where he's coached.

I would have no problems with him becoming the Canucks next head coach. None of us really know how good a coach really is since we're not privy to most of their daily dealings but hiring a coach who has a record of getting the most out of his teams is nothing to scoff at.

The coaches that I want us to stay away from are the Lindy Ruff types who haven't shown an ability to adapt to the new way of coaching today's players in the current state of the NHL.

Rarely? I wish I could say 'rarely' cause I never like reading his posts period! Every time I come across his posts I mutter the same thing under my breath "this cat has issues that he ain't dealing with". He's out of sync.

that's high praise coming from you BD! farts use to say the same thing about me, I was insignificant, I was nothing to him, he said I never got under his skin...then that asshole had to chase him away by lowering the board IQ...poor stinker

if it's any consolation bud, I think you should be the next coach of Your Vancouver Canucks...that way people could see the real you and not the fake internet version

There is no such thing as climate change...there is no such thing as climate change...there is such thing as climate change...

In 90 posts he has not said one god damn relevant thing and then he has the nerve to tell us to take care...

Take Care of what? Business? Hockey? Petunias? Aunt May? Prostrate?

Since you asked....A long, long time ago I wrote a post which contained a swear word... A fellow poster chastised me for my language while informing me that he was sitting at his desk with his grandson reading the message board when they came across my post and that he didn't appreciate my language...

Embarrased, I thought about it and realized that he was right...Why speak any differently to a person on a computer than you would if you were speaking to them face to face?...

When I say goodbye to somebody in person, I often say "take care", I don't see any reason to change when giving my opinions on a message board....

Relevant......hmmmmm...

While you think its retarded to suggest that the Canucks aren't looking for a number of coaches to fill their numerous vacancies while interviewing a long list of candidates, I think its naive and retarded to think otherwise....

The fact that the local media are now suggesting that some of the candidates being interviewed will eventually find work as assistants in Vancouver or coaches on the farm makes it relevant....

Speaking of relevant, I can't say I know who you are and I can't comment on your hockey knowledge because from the little time I've spent reading some of your posts I found you don't really say anything that has much value to the topics being discussed....

I appreciate Rumsfield having my back on this one, but don't worry about me getting hurt feelings or being intimidated, I never shy from a good debate....

Bullies like you remind me of the time another bully who went by the handle "The Thinker" left this board for that other Canuck board....

We had had our battles and when I PM'd him to let him know I would miss him, he replied that I was the reason he was leaving.....Seems he was better at giving than he was taking...

Speaking of that other Canuck board, I moved on when many of its posters found a new home here...I'm not much of a fan of the style of posting that goes on here now so I took my act elsewhere....

I came back after reading some of Hockey Widows posts, I don't dispute that she has some source(s) but I would suggest that those sources have agendas ....

At the end of the day, I like to talk hockey and I especially like to talk hockey with fans I don't agree with...

Agree, disagree, ignore, whatever, just try to keep it to hockey and ditch the name calling and bullying....I does nothing more than cause some to wonder where and what you were doing on the night of June 15th, 2011....
